Be careful what you wish for… because you might get exactly what you wanted—even if it's not specifically what you had pictured. There's something about depositing our two-ton chunk of steel in a specific location that brings out the most primal traits in us, prompting territorial feuds between neighbors that inevitably escalate to ridiculous levels. Even if we technically have no ownership over that specific location, it still triggers feral rage when another monkey deposits their two-ton chun…

Just a pro tip for those of you looking to enjoy the comfort of an outdoor fire this summer… If there's already a nearby forest fire raging, throwing out enough smoke to choke your entire region of the country... just don't. Don't do it. Find something—anything—else to do instead, just as long as it doesn't involve starting a non-metaphorical fire in a literal tinderbox. With large swathes of North America being drowned in the smoke of forest fires every summer in recent memory, it would just b…

It's all well and good to want things to be fair. After all, things being unfair—well… isn't fair. But, if you demand fairness, you'd better be well and truly sure that you actually deserve more than you're already getting. Otherwise, you might very well end up with less. Conflict emerged when this neighbor's kid demanded that he receive "half the money" from a bake sale when he decided he was bored and wanted to go home early. He wasn't even willing to stay the full duration and put in the wor…

Idiots have the uncanny ability to work themselves into petty positions of power, which they then rule over with an iron fist, completely ignorant of the fact that absolutely no one takes them seriously or even wanted that position in the first place. One could attribute this undeniably overly prevalent idiot phenomenon to possibly being due to the individual's complete and utter lack of self-awareness. For, one needs to be aware of one’s own actions and place in the world before one can begin…

If you can't beat ‘em… join ‘em—with as raucous of a racket as you can possibly manage. That’s what these property owners decided to do when faced with ridiculously restrictive rulings of their HOA.

Dealing with trashy neighbors is never fun, and dealing with your trashy neighbors' trash is even less so. The worst part of these disagreements is you're forced to exist in often close quarters with these people as their entitled actions repeatedly infringe on the peace of your existence. It can be hard to ignore, especially when their literal garbage is spread out in front of your house or through the neighborhood. As these engagements sink to pettier and pettier levels, there's no telling wh…

You reap what you sow, and when you cherry-pick rules, don't be surprised if those disproportionately affected by them dig up some dirt and lead you down the garden path… This gardening uncle became the target of his HOA for violating their 'no fences' regulation after his Karen neighbor reported him for the small half-foot high picket fence that he placed around his garden. The HOA regulation was supposed to pertain to enclosing fences only, but the HOA's strict interpretation of their regulat…

Having immature neighbors who engage in petty games of warfare or who otherwise just don't care about how their actions are affecting other people is the worst… and you know things are bad when a newborn baby isn't the most immature participant in the dispute. This neighbor refused to heed reason and repeatedly blocked their new parent neighbors in their own driveway, meaning the parents had to miss multiple appointments for their newborn, as they could not leave their home. After pleading with…

Feuds between neighbors have nothing but losers—the sanctity of existence being continually besmirched by your arch-nemeses constant and continuous close proximity. The persistent presence of something so infuriating is enough to drive even the most level-headed people to insanely petty lengths, which is probably why there is no shortage of stories online where bad neighbors have driven each other to the bitter ends of sanity. Apartments can be especially bad for this; with so many people cramm…

Disruptive, rude, trashy, and entitled neighbors can make the serenity of time at home into a living nightmare—especially when they're literally throwing their trash over the fence into your yard. Unfortunately, there's not often a whole lot you can do to rid yourself of this behavior—unless they're blatantly breaking laws or covenants. But if you actually had the means to buy your peace and serenity back… would you? As the original poster of this thread asks: What price would you put on peace…

There's snow-where to run and snow-where to hide from the ice-cold vengeance that's coming your way after you steal the parking spot that someone has spent hours digging out in a freezing tundra of a historic blizzard. Sure, there may not be any legalities surrounding the claimant's claim to a dug-out spot, but when you've lived in areas that get this much snowfall, you know—and respect—the code. If you choose to dishonor the code, there's no telling what might happen to your vehicle. The sheer…

Living next to a bad neighbor will surely cause you a terrible existence. And when you're living in densely inhabited accommodation like an apartment building, you're rolling the dice many more times, resulting in a far greater chance of ending up near a complete psycho or entitled individual. Redditor u/SilentJoe1986 shared this story to Reddit's r/EntitledPeople subreddit, telling of how their neighbor had insisted that they turn up their own thermostat so that the rising heat would heat the…

Lawns are often a great attraction and target for entitled neighbors. It's almost like they have a magnetic pull, resulting in an obsessive fixation—one single blade of grass overgrown or out of place sending the neighbor over the edge. But let's be real, living close to people can be maddening—being that they're a constant presence in your everyday life that you had no choice or control over. We can choose our partner, our friends—even whether or not we want to see certain family members—but n…

Loud and inconsiderate neighbors can make existence miserable. Being unable to relax or get peace and quiet within the confines of your own home is grating and draining, really taking a toll on your mental health. This homeowner had his peace disturbed when his “sweet” neighbor's psychotic girlfriend moved in. The silence they once enjoyed was shattered with constant screaming, yelling, and fighting. This continued to escalate until the arguments turned to loud, inappropriate accusations. Havin…

Homeowner associations are notorious for their tyrannical enforcement of bizarre policies that were drafted by a collection of the worst sort of neighbors who have nothing better to do but worry about what other people are doing. This story was initially posted by u/SpurredOneLastTime (OP) to the r/entitledpeople subreddit and then crossposted by a fascinated reader to the r/f***HOA subreddit community. The OP tells the tale of his ex-wife's final act of retribution that saw him embroiled in le…

Look at me… I am the homeowner now. When someone is caught in a lie, it's always surprising to see how far they will take it. You might expect the liar to give it up, admit defeat—and admit to their deceit. And yet, most liars have been lying for so long that they don't know how to turn it off. They'll continue building up the fabrication—even after their lie has been substantially disproven. Reddit user u/Top-Studio8028 posted this thread to Reddit's r/entitledparents, sharing a story that he…
